Downside: this time of year never fails. Upside: cleaning beneath and behind the refrigerator!

It's the kinda day where I wake up a bit sore after going grocery shopping the night before... and find out the fridge went out in the middle of the night.

AKA: TAX SEASON! The microwave bit the dust last week. I bought a replacement pillow this week. David bought a refrigerator today. I'm glad we had some savings, but bleh.

I've had a few rough weeks. Doesn't help that the weather has been miserable, David's on another 2-3 week stretch without a day off from work, and school has been cancelled for two weeks (they had a half-day yesterday, but it snowed last night again. The highs are predicted to stay within 40-50 next week, fingers crossed all of snow melts before another cold spell).

Going to finish cleaning off the top of the beast so the Lowe's guys can take it with them when they bring the new one. I'm lucky that his mom bought a new deep freezer and that she lives next door. Our perishables are hanging out at her house until our new one arrives.
